Michael Mack the county’s public utilities director said Tuesday that he was seeking stimulus funding or a state loan for $18. 5 million to pay for a larger-capacity plant. Brenan Buckley of CDM in Raleigh the project’s engineering consulting firm told commissioners Monday that a 2-million-gallon-a-day plant would be at capacity by late 2011 when the proposed system would begin operations. Projections show that by 2015 6 million gallons a day would be needed. A larger facility would delay the project’s start however since more stringent state requirements would need to be met. Tate said Tuesday that the board had known for awhile about capacity issues but that he’d rather not wait on a larger plant. “I think they need to be able to use water as soon as possible” he said of county residents.
